Water Wheel Challenge
The Water Wheel Challenge is where you have 8 plastic cups and 8 red K’nex and we had a K’nex white star and we had to make a water wheel out of these things and sellotape.
We used K’nex and plastic cups for the water wheel challenge ,we had to connect the k’nex sticks to the K’nex star joiner then sellotaped 8 plastic cups to the sticks then attached it to a tower and if it worked properly the light bulb would light up.
We had a competition to see who’s waterwheel could keep the light on the longest and there was a 3rd, 2nd and 1st prize, a man called Mr Barry Lowe judged us and in first place was Nicole Coates and Emily kirk, in second place was Lilli booth and Rhys Bucknall and in third place was Keira Anderson and Alana Clegg.
